Braveheart is one of my all time favorite movies. The adventure, the action, the romance, the call to honor. For me, it's a great movie. Recently a
friend of mine posted on his Facebook account a quote from the
movie, attributed to William Wallace: "All men die. Not all men really live."
When
you think of that statement, what comes to your mind about truly living? What
images come to mind? What dreams resurface? What would you really want
to do? What for you is really living??? You know the next set of
questions: what keeps us from that, and why wouldn't we pursue that?
Taken
in a spiritual context and for Christ Church as we start up, there are
people who will die but also may never really live. We have an
opportunity to help people find the way to really live in Christ - not
just for an eternal destiny someday, but to really live in Christ right
here and right now today.
Starting Christ Church can be overwhelming and frustrating at times; yet we see God's
alignment in our lives and answers to prayers. Let's keep praying,
let's keep seeking, let's renew our commitment to Christ and never forget why we are doing this: so people can really live both now and forever in Christ.
What's 1 thing you could do today to really live?
